    Anyone play racquetball in the Orlando area?

    After reading the hand ball youtube thread, it got me thinking... I play regularly. I've been playing with the same guy for the past year. He's a great player and frequents these boards, infact. Are there any other players out there? I realize that I'm being incredibly specific on the...

    http://promotions.yahoo.com/doritos/index.php The first one, "Check out Girl," required me to post a response. "What a horrible commercial. First of all, it's over the time limit. You obviously intend to have the end cut off (Clean up on...) if it wins which would remove that only...

    PSA: If you're seriously lost in the woods

    Burn them down. Torch the place. Don't worry about little signal fires ... set everything you see on fire and keep moving. I've seen too many stories about couples/father and son/families getting stuck/lost in the woods in blizzards/hiking gone bad/river rafting in the middle of no where for...

    What if I like war?

    So I had just finished my first round of studying for an upcoming test (session lasted 3 hours) and as I was walking out of the library, a group of rebble-rousers came marching up from around the corner carrying a banner and a mega-phone. This would have been the highlight of my day had it not...

    PSA: Be nice to your uni's help desk folk!

    Let me premise this post by saying that I am in no way affiliated with my University's IT dept. It's clear that the first few weeks are arguably the toughest time in a semester for a work-study student who is making a little more than minimum wage. Not only are they dealing with the influx of...

    a point system for special titles?

    I think a point system for users that would then earn them custom titles. To prevent e-penis arrogance, the system could be in a way that is not explicitly displayed in a user's profile... a sort of hidden system that's visible to mods and such. Although, I don't think the people that accrue the...
